Syrian Rebels Line Up Islamic State Prisoners, Force Them to Knees, Then Make Unexpected Move

It is Islamic Front that is holding the IS.

The Islamic Front is a Sunni Islamist rebel group involved in the Syrian Civil War that was formed by the merger of seven separate groups on 22 November 2013. The merger was achieved by expanding the preceding Syrian Islamic Front alliance. Wikipedia

Sunni not killing Wahhabis. How is this something new? They are both Anti Assad. Soon back on the battlefield in Iraq to help Saudi Arabian/Turkish interest.

There are Muslim who is really nice people but these are not the souls you are looking for to reform Islam. If this was Shia then I would have been amazed.

I actually agree with the OP this was a compassionate action. You all know my opinion on terrorist and how i thnk we are too soft on them. But i cant help but feel that this Situation could save and re convert back alot of muslim youth if they are properly educated in the Qurans teachings and not some radical Imam telling them something else.

I call that wishful and ignorant thinking. Once a terrorist you deserve to ... well you deserve what you get..

Wow I sure hope these nice terrorist see the error of their ways.. I really mean that. I hope they dont go blow anyone else up or shoot up a bunch of innocent people at the mall.

Because you know 1 preacher spoke to them so they are now changed.. There is no way this is off topic... Or a violation of any Ts and cs ..

This is a story the left wing media will continue to run with now, to show everyone that there are nice muslims in the world. They continually show this potentially fabricated HD video while they play Trump's message over and over.

That's what I was thinking... Pretty coincidental considering the outrage Trump put his opposition in yesterday with his muslim comments.

Exactly. There is a sudden PR image makeover for Islam going on in the US, and out of nowhere we get this rebel group in Syria playing nice with ISIS. Not buying it.

My on!y concern is what is the intent of the message?

Myself and others have been asking why if the radical Muslims only reflect less than 0.5% of the Muslims, than why are they allowing this tiny minority to be their ambassadors?

So if this the beginning of a campaign to stop the numbers of moderate Muslims from going radical, at least it is a start.

If the intent is to change the minds and hearts of the radical Muslim, I am not so sure it will be effective. If the message is we don't kill other Muslims, I think, it is possible that it may actually embolden them.

It is not going to go very far in changing the minds an hearts of non-Muslims, if the message is for non-Muslims to show that they have compassion, because they don't kill other Muslims.

You have to remember these people don't see ISIS as Muslims...

They see them as Khajirites, unbelievers, kafirs.



So it's not really much to do with not executing Muslims.


I'm not using the No True Scotsman fallacy, I'm just pointing out what these rebels believe.

Whether you think the video is fake, or whether you think it isn't going to do any good or whether you question the intent of it, you have to admit that the video does not promote violence - and that's a GOOD thing, right?

a reply to: CharlieSpeirs


If it was Shia/Wahhabi then I would agree that they would be a separate group from each other and that they would both look at each other as Kafirs.

Wahhabi is the extremist version of Sunni, and in Syria I do have a hard time believing there is any real moderate rebels left fighting for secular democracy.

Assad forces are not behaving nicely either when they ask for protection money from Sunni civilians to be allowed to stay. All sides show corruption except maybe the Kurds.

The whole video is pathetic. It's like one of those videos that pop up on Facebook now and then humiliating children into playing nice.
If those guys in the orange jump suits were IS i'm sure they are utterly disappointed that instead of being martyred on the spot they got a stern lecture from a very nice man....A very very nice man. And no doubt as we speak are starting to reevaluate their lives, taking stock of all the bad stuff they have done in the name of the false prophet.

I dont believe the video is genuine for one minute.

Light up the darkness

Its amazing what a light like that can do, and if it teaches the prisoners NOTHING, it teaches others around them EVERYTHING.....

Regardless how futile it might be, its what the world and Islam needs

I was wondering if the prisoners were real and actually thought they were going to be executed, or if it was a propaganda film?

Isn't that pretty much the way all sides feel all the way back to Ishmael?

I dont know... the IRA turned themselves around didnt they? They been brainwashed like cult members. Should we just shoot them too? If they are caught and not in action at the time and surrender they get a right to a trial. Which is why most are gunned down. I said myself with this ONE INCIDENT it was a diffrent situation. SO what if its propaganda?

a reply to: ManBehindTheMask

So, taking a deliberate stance against islam is felt!
Thanks for sharing, but it will take a long time before i and hopefully many with me, will change their stance on islam.
Certainly not before the islamic community has chopped away the branch that produces this extremist fruits.

Did you read somewhere in the article they let the prisoners go?

Yuppa, for me, I think that is the thing that disturbs me the most about this whole conflict about radical Islam.

The attitude that so many people, especially around ATS, have that the words Islam or Muslims must be prefaced or followed by words that are supportive of the religion, or else the attacks come on full force. The attitude that if something is proven negative, that it is no big deal, or every comparable act or event that has ever occurred in the history of the planet, will be pulled from every book or web site available, and be used to cover up anything negative anyone has to say.

The so what attitude, and the post Mafia, makes me leery, and makes me doubt the sincerity of many Muslins on ATS, more than DAESH. At least they tell you up front how they truly feel, what they really believe, and what they plan to do.

The Muslim post police Mafia on ATS is turning more people against Muslims than ISIS.

.

They got an Orange cloth Factory over there?

Isn't there something in the Koran about no prisoners. Does anybody have any pictures of any prisoner of war camps.. No nice clean orange cover alls

Is mercy ever futile, though?

IMHO, mercy is never futile. Someone always remembers.
